** Plugin development stopped **
Due to my lack of time and motivation to patch my plugins each time Valve pops a new update I give up this thing.
Anyway the code is free software so feel free (no pun intended) to continue development yourself ;)

Thanks to anyone having used this plugin, I hope it has served you well, and sorry for the inconvenience.
** Plugin development stopped **

-> This plugin is dead and will not work on the last version of Source games.<-

After several hours of coding, I am proud to present you my third plugin for Metamod:Source : ServerPolls !

You always wanted to ask things to your players but you are too lazy to go on each server you own to ask every player ? Let a plugin do it for you !

Version 1.1
(06/05/2010)
  • added support for Half-Life 2 : Multiplayer via "Escape style" menus
  • corrected a crash with Team Fortress 2 and Day of Defeat : Source
  • upgraded to Metamod:Source 1.8 (will no longer work with older versions of Metamod:Source)
ServerPolls is a Metamod:Source plugin for (almost) every Source game/mod.

This plugins allows you to create polls to ask your players.

To create the polls and see the vote results you can use the dedicated tool : ServerPolls Manager.


Once a vote is ready it will be proposed to the players on the servers where you installed the plugin.


Please read the server admin guide for more information : http://spo.jmgr.info/files/guide-en-1.1.pdf

Download :
(binary, binary update & source)
http://spo.jmgr.info/

Features :
  • Can use MySQL or SQLite (but MySQL is recommended)
  • You can setup on which server every poll will run
  • You can specify an end date, or a maximum number of voters
  • Translated in french & english
  • Open Source (GNU/GPL v3)
  • Developed and tested since 8 months
Installation instructions :
As any MM:S plugin, but you can find a complete guide in the guide-en-1.1.pdf file.

If you find any bug please post here, or send me an e-mail. (see the readme file)

Thanks to : Chin00k (idea), VanDer

Hm seems kinda similar to a idea I had a while back that was made in ESP:

http://addons.eventscripts.com/addons/view/sourcesurvey

Maybe use that as a reference and add like rewards for filling out survey and options to have player type out a answer and such.

Ah yes, I didn't saw this plugin when I searched for similar stuff, but thanks for the link.

It's always interesting to see what others have made.

Not working in HL2DM, because DM uses 'Escape' style menus instead of 'Radio' menus. Any chance of updating this to work with HL2DM?

Does this only let people vote once or save the players vote so they cant vote in the same poll more than once and so it wont popup if they have voted before?

Hm. I don't have much free time now, but I will take a look at this problem as soon as possible. Anyway the plugin is free software so you can upgrade it yourself if you cannot wait :p

One player can only vote to a specific poll once. Like a real poll ;)
To say it otherwise, I store the couple steamId/pollId as primary keys in a table.

I keep getting "Unable to establish a connection to the database." even though all the info is correct. If I change a single entry it gives me the full error with some access error. Not sure why it wont connect, my other plugins connect fine.

and the plugin simply wont load with MM 1.9, I didnt try with 1.8. It crashes when it starts up with it and when I load it after the server starts it crashes on map change.

I'm getting the same with MM 1.8 on TF2. Loads fine on HL2DM though.
